The Nike Zoom LeBron 4 released in November 2006 as a radical design departure from its predecessor, highlighted by flowing lines and the lack of a true midsole. The LeBron 4 was also the first Nike basketball shoe to feature Foamposite since the Ultraposite in 2003. This debut colorway features a solid black finish with red accents on the vamp and collar, along with contrasting white on the sculpted Phylon wrap that replaces a traditional midsole. A full-length Zoom Air unit is embedded in the drop-in midsole for ultimate cushioning.
